Why do I even like cheladas, I don't even know. Well I haven't loved all the Modelo versions, I like making my own at home, but whatever. Here's this one. Really ugly appearance, no head, cloudy reddish orange, uneven distribution of opacity. Nose is mostly mango, a little tomato juice. This is a tad sweet, mango flavors dominating, but the saltiness is apparent and balances, with a linger saltiness on the tongue. Very faint chili. Gets a little tart at finish, maybe from the mango, if I could change anything it would be to tame that bit a little. Lingering burning sensation is either acid or chili, unsure, but it hints at vomit. I find the salty beery medium mouthfeel to be quite pleasing. Despite the vomit reference I'm rather enjoying this one. Why do I like this I still can't say.

Mango, salt, chile pepper, malt, and straw aroma. Hazy golden yellow with moderate but short-lasting head. Moderately sweet mango, chile pepper, malt, light salt, and lightly bitter straw flavor. Good body - light burn in the finish. Pretty good - would drink this before a Rita any day of the week.

24 oz. Aroma is mango, black pepper, tomato, floral. Pours hazy orange with a quickly collapsing off-white head--no trace of foam whatsoever after a minute or so. Taste is moderately tart, lightly sweet, with a light chili pepper spiciness. Lots of mango flavor. Tastes pretty good to me, but I love cheladas. It's not as good as the original or the lime one, though.
